Anyone else terrified of wood ticks?
Just curious how many other people flat-out hate wood ticks. Am I alone here, or is this normal?
I grew up around ticks, and have always hated them. My buddy's dad lived in rural northwestern Wisconsin. We'd spend summer weekends out there doing stupid stuff in the woods, and would almost always collect a wood tick or seven. And every time, I felt like I'd been attacked by a devious, ill-intentioned space alien (or seven). In fact, I was pretty much convinced for a long time (and still have my suspicions today...) that wood ticks are not from this planet. Frickin' space monsters. I hate 'em.
Spiders in general are on my list of least favorite things. However, spiders don't lurk - yes LURK - waiting to grab on and dig into your skin. Anything that lurks, grabs and digs in is a rotten sonuva no-good so and so.
*shiver* Ugh. Wood ticks.
I hate 'em.
